Spotted this photo immediately. Its great. Ive given it a slightly more descriptive title:
Orionid Meteor Snow globe. (It really does remind me of a snow globe.G

Thank you JCloud,
what an uplifting thought to imagine that you can shake the globe and rearrange the universe in new beautiful ways :-)

GREAT PHOTO...is 30 seconds the right exposure time.....seems it would white out the ground lighting and the stars at 12500 iso...im going to try to get me that great shot.....my canon wont let me at 30 seconds and iso 12500.....ive been experimenting with 30 sec at 3200.........again great shot

Thanks blondedragon.
Yes it is absolutely correct. If you click the Click here to view the EXIF data beneath the picture, you get all the settings.
With my old Canon Eos5DMk2 I would not go further up than 1600-3200 but with the Eos5DMk4 it is quite ok to push it up to 12800. Of course I work with the raw-files so I get a much higher level of control of the highlights so they dont wash out.
The shot is from a dark place.

Peter, what a gorgeous image! Soon as I saw it , it reminded me of the (color of the) face of the Astrodea watch (silly, but its another beautiful thing: https://theawesomer.com/citizen-astrodea-watch/10825/

Thanks for the EXIF data. This is aspirational for rank amateurs like me.

blondedragon: I am myself working on a Mac but you may try downloading Hugin http://hugin.sourceforge.net that is open source, free and exists for both Mac and Windows.
It has evolved over the years and I believe it to be quite capable.
